    Thanks Op great find. Note that it's five years from 2010 to 2014, not the last five.

    Great for anyone looking for opinions on any potential second hand car.

      Fixed - thanks.

    Wish they had an easy way to search for reviews. Unless they do and I'm just dumb, of course…

      There is a Search (magnifying icon).

      But it's easier and faster to just search the proper Wheels website.

    Pretty crappy that these are not PDFs that are downloadable.

    I am sure that there is a way, but too tired and lazy to search for a solution.

      LOL - I copped a neg for what?

        LOL - I copped a neg for what?

        Not that hard to figure out… Why would they give you the magazine's in PDF format when they plan to sell access to them? Sheesh, it clearly states this is for a limited time so you want them to give you permanent copies of the magazines!

          Well, PDF is better.

          Sheesh, it clearly states this is for a limited time

          I read it that the first 5 years are Free, and then the next 16 years will become free.

          The OP has added extra words that may or may not be accurate - the Wheels website certainly doesn't say anything specific about subscription models.

          so you want them to give you permanent copies of the magazines!

          Well, offline copies would be much better as they could be saved and referred to later.

          Whilst free "view only" is nice, that doesn't change the fact that if I had a choice of online viewable or downloadable, then for me a download is better. Most magazines offer the choice, so everyone is kept happy.

          To clarify what I mentioned above - if you check what this deal includes, you'll find that the OP has added some additional text which is NOT shown on the linked Wheels website page:

          Another 16 years of back issues will be made available under a subscription model in July, when the free access expires.

          Access five years' worth of Australia's greatest motoring magazine, Wheels, FREE until July 2016.

          I've bolded the words that are probably causing confusion with some members here. None of that stuff is actually stated by Wheels on the page where the other text was copy/pasted from.

          So, unless the OP knows something that Wheels don't… I'd say that people are reading things that aren't actually there :-)

    This will be great for Holden lovers - assuming they've figured out how to use a computer.

    Over 20+ years of Wheels talking about how the latest Commodore is a "World beater" "On par with the Europeans"

    • Wampus on 12/05/2016 - 10:01

      Exactly, I used to subscribe for a few years ages ago, gave up when I read one too many Falcon v. Commodore articles

    Not working?

    Registered with Magshop. Received confirmation email.

    Tried account with x-cargo.net link "Incorrect username & password. Please try again."

    Logged out of and back into Magshop okay, so I haven't stuffed up the password. Anyone had success?

    • thedriver on 12/05/2016 - 10:23

      Definitely working… I already had a Magshop account though.
      Perhaps there's a delay between creating the account on Magshop and it working on Wheels…?

    123,000 pages of fantastic car news,

    75% of which are ads.
